Walking Duration 57min
Turning Points is site-based, currently containing two components: An indoor installation, an outdoor live performance.
The body is walking around the exhibition building constantly. While walking, it will hold a stone and read a poem. The walking route is based on four patterns. Three are translated from a fissure on a stone, lichen on the same stone, the skin. The fourth route is one real crack on the asphalt road. Walking posture is only allowed to be at 90-degree angle for every turning point. The reading voice will be transmitted in real-time to a hanging concentrative speaker inside the exhibition building.
If the viewers inside tend to listen to the voice, they need to move the stone and sit down. The viewer can choose either to stay inside with the installation or go outside to walk and observe the walking body. A hint will be provided within the installation.
The outdoor happenings of walking and the fourth route vary depending on the location of indoor happenings.
